Wakeboarding HD Coming to PSN March 25

Hey PlayStation junkies! I’m back yet again to announce our latest and greatest title for PlayStation Network. We’ve been working hard on this one for a while, and everyone here is very excited to finally announce our newest action platformer, Wakeboarding HD!

Do you like fast-paced arcade games? Do you like wacky, over-the-top tricks and stunts? Do you like crazy, high-speed racing and obstacle courses? Do you like beautiful, serene, tropical settings? Do you like wreaking havoc and chaos in beautiful, serene, tropical settings? (If you answer no to all of these… what are you doing here, anyway?) If so, then Wakeboarding HD is just the game you’ve been waiting for.

And you won’t need to wait much longer. Wakeboarding HD will be available on the PlayStation Network on March 25 in North America for $14.99.

Throw back to the non-stop action from the best of 90s arcades, while embracing the highly realistic killer waves that only the might of the PlayStation 3 can bring you. Wakeboarding HD drops players into 20 top-velocity, water-filled levels to maneuver through tracks, perform high-flying tricks, collect bonuses and avoid dangers from exploding mines to bloodthirsty sharks. (Seriously… sharks!) Show your skills and transform the South Pacific paradise resort into an action-packed extreme playground.

Jump onto docks and over boats, balance on rails and waves, and launch over buildings and landmarks. Flip, grab, roll, and spin as you hurl across the water and through the air. Smash through billboards and boats, splash the skimpily clad tourists. Race against your buddy in any mission with side-by-side split screen action.

Sound cool? Don’t just take our word for it. Check out what the trusty folks from TheSixthAxis.com had to say about Wakeboarding HD. We’re confident that you’ll enjoy the insanity as much as they did.

As always, a big…no, HUGE thank you to all of our fans and customers! We love what we do, and we can’t do it without you all. Please let us know what you think of Wakeboarding HD, and what else you would like to see from TikGames/Creat Studios. Enjoy!

@Scott Hyman; I was thinking along the line as a arcade/simulation multiplayer game. If and when you do some R & D, you can see the following behind these type of games, like sub-war for example. People really want to see games like this again. Thanks again for all your replies and really speaking out with the community.

Chatting with the community is a big deal to us. It’s not like I’m locked away in some tower. I’m right here with the team, and before that, I was part of many development teams. As a guy who loves to play games, and who worked as an animator for years before jumping into the crazy business side of it all, I enjoy chatting with the people who take the time to find out about what we do, and hand over their hard-earned money to buy from us.

If I can manage to put Heavy Rain down long enough, I might get this because these have always been the kind of games that I like. My one question is will this be like PAIN where I spend $10 and only have one level unlocked and I have to buy the others? I don’t really want to pay for a game and have to continue paying to play it fully.

Very exciting news! This is my type of game. Got the little one interested in it as well so its become a day one purchase for me. I hope we see support to the title after its release as well. I hate how some of these great titles are released and we dont see further dlc for the title ever again. My $14.99 is yours :)

BeastXJason, we greatly appreciate your purchase, and I can tell you first hand that my son loves it. He’s becoming coming into the office looking forward to play the “water man” game. Next week, he can finally play at home!

I have already purchased cuboid , magic ball , mushroom wars , digger HD and smash cars
love your games .
this looks like it’ll be a good buy too
I was actually just playing wave race 64 on the wii this morning and thinking how much fun an HD version with online could be so if there’s a demo I will check this out and probably buy it
online would definitely seal the deal though

Love the video and was happy to see the comment about 2-player split screen. I have 2 boys (8 and 12) and frankly there aren’t enough good games where they can sit side by side and duke it out…plus Dad is always a sucker for topical locales ;) I think you can count me in for a purchase.

I know you’re working on an answer for the Demo question, but is there a way you can get this video on PSN this week? Might make it easier to get the purchase past Mrs ykiki5.

Video should be on PSN any time now. You can also find it here, or our website (www.creatstudios.com) or on a bunch of sites online this week. Everyone seems to be getting excited about Wakeboarding HD.

I’ll talk to Sony about us making a Jet Moto game. You need to contact Sony and tell them to have us make a Jet Moto game, too. If enough customers approach them, then we have a better chance to make it happen.

just wondering if you can tell us how many different tracks and options there are for character customization
is there enough variety to keep it interesting ? and will there be dlc ? maybe track packs or a level editor where you can upload created levels for others to try out ? that’s what would sell a ton of copies
also I don’t use twitter but as a dedicated customer is there any way I can get an entry to win the game ? probably not but it doesn’t hurt to ask
I just learned to play mahjong so I will probably look at buying your psn mahjong game soon too

There’s a lot of chatting about DLC, so don’t be shocked to learn more soon. But I can’t announce anything just yet. But Tik/Creat has offered a lot of DLC in the past, including 2 packs for Magic Orbz, and additional content and level editors for Cuboid and Mahjong Tales. We’re big on DLC, and we’re big on Wakeboarding HD…

We didn’t add character customization, but there are cool ideas being discussed. Stay tuned…

Everyone at Sony has been so good to us, and we are so very grateful for the opportunity to make cool games. We’ve launched eight titles on PSN over the past 15 months, and we have plenty more in the works.

Shame about that use of sixaxis (or rather the lack of it). It would seem to fit extremely well with the game. To be honest I wouldn’t have bought it anyway, 15$ is a high price to pay when I can buy Brutal Legend for 20$ at retail. I’ll probably get it if it ever gets a price drop.

Thank you, ykiki5, for taking the time to inquire. Making games can be a very isolating experience, as we gather a collection of proud geeks and gamers in the dark for months on end. It’s important to us to reach out and connect with the folks who play what we make, and we’re always grateful for all of you who take time to chat with us.

The game features much more than simply racing. You control the boarder, not the boat, and tricks are a huge part of your score. Each level has a separate set of goals, from collecting stars to staying airborne to avoiding sharks. (Oh yeah.. sharks!)
